Responding to Hurricane Harvey

We are thinking of all those in Houston and the Gulf Coast who have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey:

We have collected resources for parents to help you have a conversation with a child who may be aware of and worried about the damage and destruction caused by the storm.

We are mindful that the storm has had a particular impact on the Jewish community, with significant damage to homes and synagogues. Please join us in supporting any of these organizations aiding the relief efforts:

JCP is also participating in a gift card drive initiated by the Jewish communities in Houston to assist area residents in meeting their immediate needs. Join us in purchasing a gift card from Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, or a Visa gift card, in $25 dollar increments, and place it in the collection box at JCP’s Welcome Desk between now and September 15. These gift cards will be sent to directly to Houston’s congregations to help in their relief efforts.
